Validating instance group credentials
The following procedure describes how to validate the credentials for an instance group. Credentials are not validated when an instance is registered automatically. You should periodically validate the credentials for the instances in the group.
If you add an instance for a SQL Server cluster to an instance group, note that NetBackup validates the credentials on the active node. The credentials must be valid for all nodes in the cluster.
To validate group credentials
- Select the instance group.
- Choose Actions > Properties.
- In the Edit Instance Group dialog box, and click Validate.
If the validation fails, you can choose to save the group or enter different credentials. The backup of an instance fails if the credentials are not valid for an instance.
See Troubleshooting credential validation with instance management (NetBackup for SQL Server).
